Professional wrestling, the WWE, and being in the Hall of Fame represent such a large part of Hulk's life, as does his connection to the audience.
John Cena is the man here. He's the Hulk Hogan of our era.
People always expect Hulk Hogan to be standing up straight, or to have the bandanna on, or to not have my arms covered up. If I have an extra large shirt on people go 'oh yeah you look small.' It kind of ruins the mystique.
That feeling is one of the things that keep me going. On July 6, 1998, I became the WCW heavyweight champion of the world!
For my money, Dan Hodge is the greatest amateur wrestler ever produced in the U.S.A.
My dad is to professional wrestling what Babe Ruth was to baseball - he's an icon. Working with him and having him around as I try to get this new character over with the fans has been a major help.
Undertaker certainly is a cornerstone of WWE, and just as I say to myself that I really would have liked to been able to get to know and certainly get in the ring with Andre the Giant, just because of all the respect and folklore that went around with Andre, I think The Undertaker has that same sort of respect and folklore around him.
When I came into WWE after Monday Night Wars, it wasn't my greatest time in the business... but they kept bringing me back.
My dad wrestled The Rock, and I heard the people screaming and saw just how much they loved seeing my dad perform. It gave me chills.
If there was a dream match I could do, it would definitely be in a match against Curt Hennig. I think, growing watching him, I have hours and hours and hours of footage of 'Mr. Perfect' Curt Hennig and just studied his stuff for years.
You can't hide... from The Deadman.
For me, my number one guy would be Tanahashi from New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Like, watching him, like, this guy is a bonafide rockstar over in Japan. He can't even walk down the street without getting stopped, the way that he carries himself.
A.J. Styles is great - he's a great performer - so I'm not going to take anything away from him.
No one beats The Legend Killer.. Thats why I'm the greatest in this business!
Dusty Rhodes really liked me, I bonded with him.
To be honored with the WWE Hall of Fame, I cannot put into words how big it is for me.
Ric Flair is an old nemesis of mine.
Hulk will always be a part of sports entertainment/professional wrestling history, and there's nothing that's gonna change that. His relationship with the WWE, whether it's official or unofficial, is something that can't really be erased.
As far as the path of [Bill] Goldberg and all his ultimate success, I don't think any of that was planned. It was all organic. All of it was so different.
Rest in peace, King Kong Bundy.
I really think, Charlotte Flair, come on, her legacy is going to be cemented throughout the years. That's just a given!
I was Razor Ramon, and I started the nWo.
You just remember back when you were watching as a kid and going, 'Man, Sting's so cool,' and now I'm wrestling the guy. It's breathtaking.
OMG, Kevin Nash, WTF, thought he was dead, LOL.
I want to be World Heavyweight Champion, but unfortunately, that didn't happen.
